Brintillex isn't much of a "stand out" Med to me. They're just going to keep beating this dead horse. The whole neurotransmitter reuptake/antagonism needs to be replaced with something new and better. With meds that have a clinically significant effect. Maybe that Med will be one in clinical trials by the chemical name of NSI-189. It directly increases neurogenesis, unlike current meds, which are thought to do this is a downstream effect from its mechanism of action.

But if its shown to work, it could still be about 10 years away from being available to the public. Man, I wish Clinical Trials were looked at on the same level of national importance as national security. Where thousands of men were putting in time to research and conduct them in order to get new, possibly life saving medications to those in need ASAP! Right now Clinical Trials can take 15 years. T would be beautiful to see that cut down to 5.
